Emotions play an important role in the life of an individual and one requires a higher
emotional maturity to lead an effective life. We need to study the emotional aspects
of adolescents as they go on with their normal lives. The current study was planned
to analyse the relationship between emotional maturity and personality factors. The
sample consists of 110 adolescents studying in class XI and XII taken from a private
school. Further, the association of emotional maturity with personality dimensions of
these adolescents was analyzed. ‘Emotional maturity scale’ was administered on the
selected sample to assess emotional maturity and ‘NEO- FFI (Form S)’, was used for
measuring various personality dimensions of these adolescents. . The results showed
that (i) Neuroticism has a signifi cant negative correlation with emotional maturity
(ii) Agreeableness and Conscientiousness have signifi cant positive correlation with
emotional maturity, (iii) Openness and Extroversion doesn’t show any signifi cant relation
with emotional maturity and (iv) Stepwise regression analysis revealed two predictors
of emotional maturity i.e. Agreeableness and Neuroticism, jointly account for 19% of
variance in emotional maturity.
